Yes, this is indeed an old thread, and it is in fact even older now, but it just doesn't make any sense to start a new thread just to rehash the valuable info that is already here. Would much rather pick up where this thread left off.

Also, yes, I've been gone a long time and I apologize for that. It is no way to treat one's friends on an online community, to just up and disappear like that, which I have done twice now, but I can't even begin to cover the hows and whys I am just so overwhelmingly busy and have had to let "car stuff" take a back seat to the other bunkness in my life.

Onward. I suspect that my newly acquired 92 4matic is suffering from the aforementioned "hydraulic fluid leaking into the transfer case" malady. My research shows that the transfer case fluid is in fact already Dextron III so using D3 in the fluid reservoir obviously isn't going to hurt the transfer case. My question then is what about the rest of the hydraulic system? Will D3 potentially hurt anything else?

Thanks in advance to all who help me with this!

Regards,
Eric
